Now I really think, there must be email servers inbetween, which simply log the sender and put them to the spamming lists. We had this discussion a few months ago. In short, the easiest way to get at your e-mail address is to simply register with the boost list, and then have a bot listening and

collecting. It's pretty much the same thing that some list archives do. You can't really prevent it, either. Unlike spammers, such accounts don't really make their presence known. Should all accounts that just listen and never post be banned?

If you know a solution, I'm sure everyone would be very grateful, but I don't think there is one. Sebastian Redl
